Biggest challenges for Vietnamese speakers learning English

If you know what’s hard in advance, you can learn faster. These are the main things that slow down Vietnamese speakers when they learn English.

  • Vietnamese is tonal — six tones carry meaning, English tones carry emotion only
  • Vietnamese verbs never change form — tense is expressed by time words instead
  • English consonant clusters at the end of words are very rare in Vietnamese
  • Vietnamese has no articles and uses classifiers for countable nouns

Focus on one challenge at a time. Small daily practice beats long study sessions.
